Most of the parameter descriptions can be found here. However, it would be nice to have short one-liners on what each of the options do, and maybe their performance implications.
For example, I would hazard a guess that setting

curl http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{
    ...,
    "options": {
        ...,
        "numa": true,
        ...,
    }
}'

would utilise the numa library and therefore lead to some performance increase, but I cannot find any documentation to confirm this. I think that even one-liners giving some form of context for each available option would be extremely useful.
